Stunning new concept art offers a first look at Alice in Wonderland as seen through the eyes of director Tim Burton. The images, released by Disney as Burton works on the remake in London, show Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter (pictured above) and provide a fascinating peek at the fabulist director's vision for Alice, The Red Queen and the movie's other central characters.

The pictures hint at an elegant, richly textured fantasy world that honors Lewis Carroll's 19th-century fairy tale while incorporating bits of Burton's trademark weirdness (check the grimacing flowers in the picture below).

The images are drawn from the world of Alice in Wonderland, as re-imagined by one of the world's most visually arresting directors. The movie is scheduled for release March 5, 2010.
